There were two foreclosure sales in
Cheyenne yesterday, one of real estate and
the other of personal property, taken in
each case under mortgage. The real
estate was lot 3, block 104, sold in front
of the court house door by Sheriff Sharp
less for the sum OF $3.50, the purchaser
being Annie A. Ball (the mortgagee).
The other sale was that of personal prop
erty, consisting of furniture lately kept
and used in a well known establishment
on Sixteenth street. The property was of
course sold at auction, W. Fl. Becker
officiating as auctioneer, in which capacity
he appears to be an expert, and has also a
good pair of lungs, for a large crowd was
drawn to the auction block across the
street from the city hall. The property
sold for a good price, and enough will be
realized to pay the claim upon which it
was taken, together with costs, etc.

Every time there is a show at the opera
house, or anything else going on there
for that matter, a very noisy gang of small
boys congregate in tue halls and around
the doors outside and proceed to make
Eight and the occasion hideous by their
screeching and bowling. Night before
last several boys were ensconsed on the
stairway on the north side of the opera
house, and while some of them were slid
ing down the stairway, others went so far
as to set fire to some old papers and rags
below in the hall, and although the fire
vas quickly put out by those who kind
led it, yet nevertheless it was a perfor-
nance attended with considerable danger.
An alarm of fire started near the opera
house when full of people would be at
tended with deplorable and perhaps fatal
results, wen though the alarm should
prove to be a false one.
The names of some of these boys who
haunt the opera house on such occasions
are known, but they are not given this
time, for it is hoped they will be more
careful j n the future.

BY persons who, attacked by a mild form
of rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt
relief. Subsequent torture is prevented
by an immediate resort to Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters. Slight exposure, an
occasional draught, will beget this painful
malady, where there is a predisposition to
it in the blood. 1t is not difficult to
arrest the trouble at the outset, but well
nigh impossible to eradicate it when ma
tured. No evidence in relation to this
superb blood depurent is more positive
than that which establishes its efficacy as
a preventative and remedy for rheuma-
tism. Not only is it thorough but safc,
which the vegetable and mineral p%oisons,
often taken as curativcs of the disease, are
not. Besides expelling the rheumatic
virus from the system, it overcomes fever
and ague, |billiousness. constipation and
dyspepsia.

The city limits of Cheyenne will soon
become quite extensive. Judging from the
fact that two new additions have recently
been made and that others are in contem-
plation. These facts show that the boom
is still booming and will continue to do SO
from this time on. The city limits now
extend north of the boulevard and well
down to the fair grounds on the north.
west. On the east the city has been ex-
tended for n considerable distance, and in
time We may expect to see its corporate
limits reaching out to and even beyond

A FIourrshIne Institution.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Cheyenne Building and Loan As
ISOLATION was held last evening at its Of
fee. The following trustees were elected
for the ensuing year: J. W. Hammond,
A. J. Parshall, A. Underwood, John
Roberts, J. e. Baird, n. R. Davis, c..
W. RIner, s. a. Bristol, G. H. Marsh.
The association was shown to be in q
splendid condition, financially and other
wise, all dues and interest having been
paid in full. The amount of money paid
on each share is $I2; present value of
each share Sl6.23, showing a gain of
S4.23 per share, equal to IS per cent for
the first years earnings.
1t was considered advisable to inaugu-
rate an additional class in the association,
which would be the same as starting a
new association. 1t is a matter of con-
graduation that the institution is -four
ishing. 1t has done, and will continue to
do, a good work for the community.

The Filter.

1t is unfortunate that the trial filter
which IS in position in front of the opera
house cannot be kept in running order,
for if such were the case hundreds of peo-
pie every day would be given a chance to
get a drink OF pure water without buying
it,, which is something of a luxury, to say
the least. Very many people inquire
why it is that the filter is not allowed to
run, but the reason is not very definitely
given, and thus the matter stands.
